Cosmological magnetic fields and plasma physics in extended structures
The majority of the visible, ordinary matter within the universe (baryons in form of hot plasma within galaxies and galaxy clusters) is shaped by complex, physical processes, which are still plagued by many enigmas (microscopic plasma instabilities; large scale progression of astrophysical systems). The available computational resources now opened the decade of their direct, numerical modelling. However, the treatment of magnetic fields and relativistic particles (so called cosmic rays) is still mostly ignored due to their complexity, although they are fundamental plasma components, shaping the underlying fluid properties (like viscosity and transport coefficients). Observed at all cosmic…
